A old housing flat at Tanglin Halt, Singapore

I work in the area of Tanglin Halt, Portsdown Commonwealth and Buona Vista. This area is located in the Western part of Singapore, and consists of old housing estates, beautiful British colonial houses as well as modern high rise buildings giving a good mix.

I will be sharing with you information and photographs, and this will be updated periodically when I have the time to visit and take photographs of more locations with this area. Hope they will be useful to you.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beautiful British colonial houses, old estates, modern buildings etc
Cons:Not within the city area, but easy to travel to this place
In a nutshell:A good mix of the old and new in this corner of Singapore

I liked your opening photo. So many laundry flags (bendera bendera) hanging out to the bright sunshine.
